My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2 yrs. I went to my OBGYN to check for infertility issues for myself and he said I am ok, but my husband should get a sperm analysis. Ever since, my husband will either refuse to go or try to come up with some sort of ridiculous excuse. I then find out from my sister in law that he claims/told her that he knows his sperm count is ok because they have to do a sperm analysis in the Air force. Everything I have researched says that they do not do a sperm analysis in the Air force, and I personally think there is no reason to. So my question is, do they seriously do a sperm analysis in the Air force, is it a necessary test for the military, is it routine??? Or is he just b'sing for some reason?? I find all of this very hard to believe.
Thank you ladies, I was fairly certain that this was not routine, or "required." I have reassured him numerous time that it will be ok, and I will be here with him no matter what happens or is discovered, as he assured me the same. I just don't see any reasons for lies. I can understand being afraid, but to point the finger at me is another issue. We will have to have a talk and sort this through, Thanks again, ladies 
They never made anybody I knew do a sperm analysis in NAVY. Marines or ARMY. I don't know any Air Force people but if they do they are the only ones that do.
ok well i think your husband is just worried that it could be him or feels uncomfortable about having to cum inside of a cup. ok ive never heard of a sperm analysis for the air force but i guess i could ask a buddy of mine, since he is in the air force. i think he is bullshiting to be honest.
No, They do not do a sperm count when you join the Air Force. My husband says men fear it sometimes because they don't want to hear "their boys cant swim and they are useless" so he is probably just afraid of the results.
Sounds like a lie to me… maybe he's embarassed or scared to test his manlieness in case something isn't right?
Never heard of that ever, but, he is honestly really ashamed to *** into a cup, honestly hes a guy! he just wants to not think its him that has an issue
They never made my husband do one. he joined 6 years ago. he is getting ready to go reserved, and they did his medical check…and still never checked his sperm count. It sounds like your hubby is lying. i wouldnt blame him to much though. he could be very scared.He may be scared of the fact that his sperm count may be low…and if it is…it could make him feel like less of a man, so you have to take that into consideration. Whatever you do dont get mad at him, he is stalling for a reason, and it could be that he is scared.
My husband is Air Force (AUS), and i'd be very surprised if they HAVE to have a sperm analysis. I've known him for over 4 years, and he's usually pretty open about stuff like that. Your husband may have had to have one for some reason at some stage, but i'd confidently say its not routine. Good on you for sensing it didn't sound quite right! If he's fibbed, be gentle though. Men are notoriously bad with things like this, as they see it as a weakness. When my husband and i were trying, he would have never considered that a problem could have been on his side, and would have been devastated if we encountered infertility. If the two of you can open up to each other gradually about each others fears, then he may come around to the idea of seeing a specialist with you.
im in the air force and no its not routine.. its def a lie.. they can do it on base however you have to ask for it
